so i am putting my car back together and i hear my transmission filter is supposed to have two straps holding it in place, one across to top and one clipped on back. i only have the one on the back of it (towards rear of vehicle so you know which one i am talikng about). How many straps are there supposed to be to hold the filter in place. it is a 1970 fmx. thanks.

 

this is a picture I took before I changed my filter, looks like only one clip for me towards the front of the vehicle. I can find other pics if you need them.

It's off of my 69

 

Im pretty sure mine only had the one clip too.

 

perfect. thanks. that one you see in the pic is the one i'm missing. mine also has a "hanger" or clip, if you will, in the back. this is the second one that i have, but the first one is more important as it keeps the pressure from spitting the filter down, thus resulting in no fluid circulation and obvious concequences.

now, where to find this clip....

 

can't find clip. guess i have to make one.

 

it shouldn't be too hard to make, PM or post here if you want me to get more pics so you can see the hanger better.

 

thanks. that one pic was enough to see the general shape.

not too hard. it's not exact, but i made one. here it is. works well.
